Only stay there if ya like old dusty hotels
The room was dirty. The floor in the room was not clean, also the bathroom floor was dirty also. Cleanliness was a fail. The bed looked like someone just got off of it before i walked in the room. You could have wrote on the direct tv box with your finger because there was so much dust on it!!! If i could have i would of left and went somewhere else.

Don’t stay there.
This hotel needs renovated. It is literally falling apart. Wood trim fell down from the light and hit me in the head. Toilet would not flush unless I took off the lid and wiggled the inside parts.

The place was great, the name change threw us when we were making the reservation. The only thing that was disappointing was that there were no sausages for breakfast, there was a spot for them but it was empty. Thank you!

"Essential" Means "Barely Adequate"
This was my first stay at the Sonesta Essential Fairmont. The event was a college football game, and though I made the reservation months ago, the usual places I stay were booked up. The location (on the property of the redeveloped Middletown Mall) is good. The night before, they called to 'confirm' my reservation. I get electronic reminders frequently, but not a call from the property for decades. Odd. The first room we were placed in had not been cleaned; the toilet, in particular was filthy and would not flush properly. The second room was likewise dirty; the third, finally was 'clean' (except for a horrible stain on the carpet). The A/C unit was set to cool at 60 degrees. By the time we were settled into our room, it was too late to go to a favorite locally owned restaurant next door. We ended up at Applebee's. The drain in the tub was slow, and the drain knob not attached. There is no mat to prevent slipping in the tub in the accumulated water. For some reason, the main entrance to the hotel is in the back. Here is a partial list of other items deemed "non-essential" by Sonesta: * Signage to guide you to the property * In-room coffee service * Housekeeping service * Real eggs -- there is a hot breakfast, but the scrambled eggs are powdered. Further, there is no cheese or salsa to cover this fact up. A batter dispenser hinted at the presence of waffle maker, but it wasn't there. This is now my LAST choice of hotels in the area.

Quick stop over for a night on way home. Check in was amazing and Nick was very helpful. Room was clean I guess. Many stains on carpet and one of the beds the sheet was dull- not white like the others. Very few towels in the bathroom and they were very thin. Complimentary breakfast was good but the table were not being wiped down and had to ask for Tea bags.

The refrigerator was broken. The toilet paper roll was very low, which tells me the room didn’t get much attention prior to me arriving. The complimentary breakfast was missing items. There’s a waffle batter dispenser that remained empty the entire time, and no waffle maker. Room smelled musty.

2/10 Poor

Had to move rooms, and the second was worse than the first... We got to our room to find the bathroom trash half full, toothpaste spots all over the mirror and quite a few hairs in the shower. After a cordial complaint, the gentleman working the front desk got us an "upgraded" room. When we open the door, we are met with a musky, foul smell. The couch in the room was disgusting. Stains all over it. Being that it was almost midnight, we sprayed a bunch of perfume and just got to bed. Finally, after adjusting to the stench, we were able to get some rest. We're getting ourselves cleaned up in the morning, I decided to crack open the fridge. BIG mistake! Turns out, that's where the smell was coming from. It was so foul, that both of us were gagging. Top it all off, before we could get out of there we noticed that the smoke alarm had been removed from the room and there was just wires where it used to be. By far the worst hotel stay I've ever had, and the only hotel I've ever complained about in my 37 years of life. Severely lacking any regard for cleanliness. The only bright spot was the man working the front desk. He was kind and understanding. The poor guy was very embarrassed. From the sounds of it, it's been going downhill for some time. He seemed very fed up with his cleaning crews and how it was being managed. Said it was his worst experience in his 20 plus years working in the hotel/hospitality business. Btw, I paid $180 to stay at this dump...

Meh.
Check in was great. Our room was clean and comfortable. After that it all went downhill. Not enough towels- not just in our room but in total on the property, there was coffee but no tea, no iron, the breakfast was nothing but carbs. The waffle iron was broken and the morning staff was inattentive to guests. No soap or paper towels in the public bathroom. No water fountain. I wouldn’t return to this hotel.
